High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground.You were the light and the way they'll only read about.I only pray, Heaven knows when to lift you out.Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough;You're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,Shake your fists at the gates saying:"I've come home now!Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.It's time now!My time now!Give me my, give me my wings!"

And it's not because I haven't lived, it's because nothing I've done makes me ashamed of myself.

Live with pride - or suffer like a fool

Exactly. Life is for the living.

In the 40+ years that I've been alive I've made some godawful blunders that have hurt me and sometimes the people I love, but I don't regret those choices any more than I regret my greatest triumphs.

You see, this is the tapestry of my life - some parts of it are beautiful, some threads are a tangled mess and there are patches where the weaving is fucked up beyond all recognition. Nevertheless, I appreciate every bit of it, because that's how a human life should look like.

The horrible truth about the human condition is that we are truly free. There are no gods, devils or any other absolute moral authorities who'd compel us to do things. It is only us who determine how we live our lives, and the only course of action that we cannot choose is not to make choices. Every day, every hour and every minute we choose, because we cannot not choose. Sometimes we get those choices wrong and then we can only live with the consequences. Of course, you can choose regret, but regret doesn't help anyone. It can only hurt.

far too many to recount so not going to bother, however life is a learning curve and sometimes we make mistakes.. there are many that I cringe over, however they are part of who I am and to be honest most have made me a better person in myself, least that is the lie I keep telling myself :)

I had a great girlfriend from Taiwan a while back. She told me I shouldn't let a small penis get in the way of what could be a great relationship. I sort of felt bad because I wanted to tell her I would rather she didn't have one at all.

/bada bing!/

Adversity is inevitable, misery is optional.

Do or do not. There is no try.
